Oliver & District Heritage Society
The Oliver and District Heritage Society operates both the Museum and Archives facilities in the town of Oliver, B.C; located on the unceded traditional and ancestral territory of the syilx Okanagan Nation. Incorporated August 6, 1980 as the Oliver Heritage Society, the name was changed in 1998 to the "Oliver and District Heritage Society" to reflect the welcome support from the Regional District of Okanagan Similkameen and the Town.
The Society is a not-for-profit organization and is governed by a Board of Directors. Our most recent Strategic Plan highlights our focus on improving all aspects of the Society.
Our collection area extends south to Osoyoos, west to Fairview and trading area, east to Camp McKinney and trading area, and north to White Lake and Okanagan Falls. We invite you to visit us and learn or participate in your heritage and community history—past, present, and future. Please read our Collections Management Policy if you are thinking of donating.
